Major Technology Shifts
Create Business Casualties
Business Owners Who Hesitate
Become Those Casualties
For 200 years, every major shift in American technology has come with spikes in business failures. The business owners who adopted the new technology thrived, while the business owners who waited – did not.
& Spikes in Business Failures
Note
This chart is an illustration of the past 200 years of technology shifts, from 1826 to 2026, and of 2030 and beyond. It is not drawn to scale from any data source. The figures in the cards below come from the sources listed at the bottom of this section.
Credit for local merchants, craftsmen and farms dried up as the old way of doing business collapsed.
National supply chains crushed local makers who couldn't compete. More than 100 railroads went bankrupt within a year of the Panic of 1873.
Blacksmiths, carriage makers and icemen were being replaced. More than 9,000 banks closed from 1930 to 1933.
Businesses that ignored the web followed them: Polaroid filed for bankruptcy in 2001.
Up 52% in a single year. Businesses that ignored smartphones and online shopping fell behind: Blockbuster filed for bankruptcy in 2010.
Up 22% in a single year. The World Economic Forum projects 92 million jobs will be displaced worldwide by 2030, and more than 110,000 U.S. businesses are projected to go bankrupt from 2027 through 2030.**
The Pattern Never Changes
Only Business Owners Who Change With Technology Survive
The same is true for agencies. The ones still selling clicks will lose clients to the ones selling buyers.

New ‘Patent Pending’ Proprietary ‘Consumer Buying Behavior’ Prediction Model
Predicts
WHO will buy
and
WHEN they will buy
(with 85%+ accuracy)
Watch the data flow in. Pinch to zoom.
Predicts WHO and WHEN
Hindsight: How Current Ad Targeting Works
- Demographic & lookalike audiences: guesses based on age, income and homeownership, not on who is actually ready to buy.
- Search keyword ads: reach homeowners only after they start shopping, when every competitor is bidding for the same click.
- ZIP code & geofence targeting: blankets everyone in an area, buyers and non-buyers alike.
- Retargeting: chases people who already visited your website, often after they have hired someone else.
Foresight: How We Target
- Predicts WHO is about to buy: combines real purchase, online search and mobile location signals to find the homeowners getting ready to hire.
- Predicts WHEN they will buy: reaches them before they start shopping, so you are first in line instead of one of five quotes.
- Targets households, not ZIP codes: your budget goes only to the homes in your service area most likely to buy now.
- Refreshed daily, on every screen: new buyers are added as they emerge and reached with digital ads, streaming TV, email and opt-in text messages.
